simple scan

[walt]

Bob:

I have a HP M277 ... MFP printer on my LAN which printed fine with the 
CUPS print system but would not scan with any scanner program that I 
could find.  Someone suggested that I install the hplip package from the 
HP linked source.  You will have to Google for that. As I remember I did 
not use  the latest version because it asked for a driver that was 
present on my computer but wasn't recognized.  After it was installed 
simple-scan and other scanners worked fine.   I am using Mint 19.3.
